"The Hasidic circles in Zawiercie, with their shtiblekh and with their Hasidic rebbes occupied an important place in the city. It is clear that they did not visit theaters and cinemas. They actually lived musically and artistically in zmires or at particular celebrations such as Siyum haSefer, Simkhas Torah and, mainly, delighting themselves with the praying of a good bal-tfile."
